Det ser ud til at vi allerede i slutningen af 2006 vil se DDR3-RAM til mainstream computere. De første eksemplarer af DDR3-RAM moduler er allerede sendt ud til udviklere, med hastigheder på 800 og 1067 MHz - begge typer benytter en driftsspænding på 1.5 Volt. Man forventer at hastigheden når 1600 MHz for DDR3. Man forventer at DDR3 vil være den foretrukne hukommelse i 2008.
In addition to micro-architectural advantages DDR2 memory brings over the original DDR memory, such as, On-Die Termination (ODT) as well as larger 4-bit prefetch, additive latency, and enhanced registers, the DDR3 features self-driver calibration and data synchronization.
The market research company iSuppli expects DDR3 DRAM products to replace their predecessor DDR2 as the main volume product in 2008. iSuppli forcasts a DRR3 market share of 55% the same year. IDC predicts that the first DDR3 memory will be commercially sold in 2006, whereas in 2009 market share of DDR3 will be 65%.
